Scene 21: (The blood ritual, again, interrupted)
[on the way to the Aztec gold] Pintel: [to Will ] No reason to fret. It’s just a prick of the finger, a few drops of blood.
Twigg: No mistakes this time. He’s only half-Turner. We spill it all!
Pintel: Guess there is reason to fret.
Jack : [pushing through the crowd of pirates] Beg your pardon.
Barbossa: [is ready to slit Will ’s throat] Begun by blood…
Jack : Excuse me.
Barbossa: …by blood un –
Will: Jack !
Barbossa: S’not possible.
Jack : Not probable.
Will : Where’s Elizabeth ?
Jack : She’s safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman.
Barbossa: Shut up! You’re next. [leans in to slit Will ’s throat again]
Jack : You don’t want to be doing that, mate.
Barbossa: No, I really think I do.
Jack : Your funeral.
Barbossa: Why don’t I want to be doing it?
Jack : Well, because [pushed a pirate’s arm off his shoulder] …because the HMS Dauntless, pride of the Royal Navy, is floating just offshore. Waiting for you.
[in the boats] Murtogg: What are we doing here?
Mullroy: The pirates come out, unprepared and unawares, we catch ‘em in the crossfire, send them down to see Old Hob.
Murtogg: I know why we’re here. I mean why aren’t we doing what it was – what Mr. Sparrow said we should do. With the cannons and all?
Norrington: Because it was Mr. Sparrow who said it.
Murtogg: You think he wasn’t telling the truth?
[in the cave] Jack : Just hear me out, mate. You order your men to row out to the Dauntless. They do what they do best. Robert ’s your Uncle, Fannie ’s your Aunt, there you are with two ships. The makings of your very own fleet. ‘Course you’ll take the grandest as your flagship, and who’s to argue? But what of the Pearl ? Name me Captain, I’ll sail under your colors, I’ll give you ten percent of me plunder and you get to introduce yourself as…Commodore Barbossa. Savvy?
Barbossa: I s’pose in exchange, you want me not to kill the whelp.
Jack : No, no, not at all by all means, kill the whelp. Just not yet. Wait to lift the curse until the opportune moment. For instance… [picks up a few medallions] after you’ve killed Norrington’s men… [throws them back as he speaks] every… last… one. [pockets one]
Will : [sees Jack take a piece of the gold] You’ve been planning this from the beginning. Ever since you learned my name.
Jack : Yeah.
Barbossa: I want fifty percent of your plunder.
Jack : Fifteen.
Barbossa: Forty.
Jack : Twenty-five. And I’ll buy you the hat. A really big one…Commodore.
Barbossa: We have an accord. [they shake hands]
Jack : All hand’s to the boats! [sees Barbossa look at him askance] Apologies. You give the orders.
Barbossa: Gents…take a walk. [the pirates walk away]
Jack : Not to the boats? [the cursed pirates walk on the sea’s floor to the Dauntless, the moonlight revealing their true form]
